From 8a8d56b2a2f9aa423c3d8b6b1e2792c0492059ed Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Jesper Juhl Date: Fri, 29 Oct 2010 20:40:23 +0200 Subject: ALSA: usb - driver neglects kmalloc return value check and may deref NULL sound/usb/pcm.c::snd_usb_pcm_check_knot() fails to check the return value from kmalloc() and may end up dereferencing a null pointer. The patch below (compile tested only) should take care of that little problem.
